According to TMZ, the uber-famous gay bar – a two-time winner of Logo’s “Best Gay Bar In The World” award – will be getting its own reality show. Apparently, an unnamed production company is developing the show and an unnamed network is “lined up,” but shooting dates have not yet been scheduled.

Abbey spokesman Brian Rosman didn’t have any comment on the TMZ story.

LONG BEACH — Instead of looking at the closet as a hiding place for gay people,Steven Frost’s art exhibit “Open Secret” looks at it as a place of empowerment, a space where they can celebrate their sexuality.

LONG BEACH – Bob Phibbs wanted to be a bridge between the gay and lesbian communities.

While Phibbs was artistic director of Long Beach’s Gay Men’s Chorus in the late 1980s, he saw very little collaboration or solidarity among the groups. So when Phibbs left the chorus, he formed the South Coast Chorale in 1990 to help unite the gay and lesbian communities.

“The gay and lesbian communities were so separated. There was no crossover,” Phibbs said. “I wanted the singers and the audiences for the Chorale to be diverse.

“The whole idea of the Chorale is we are more alike than different, that refers to the gay community, the lesbian community and the straight community.”
